another possibility is that your adrenal gland is secreting cortisol (like adrenal hyperplasia, or small benign tumor secretin cortisol) which would also have cascading effect, for example both low and high cortisol will cause excessive aromatisation (which then lowers testosterone).
in any case further investigation is needed
not surprised that you have brain fog and are fatigued, the fact that you have some libido and good erection is nice surprise, if evertying is sorted you should improve in all these areas.
As conclusion, I would say at the moment effort should be directed towards genereal health, and hormones should be dealt with afterwards, tough I would expect lot of will improve by that time by itself.
